I forgot to mention -- A handful of SVG examples (polar_demo.py, 
specgram_demo.py) cause my Firefox 2.0.0.14 on RHEL4 to crash.  These 
same files read fine in Inkscape 0.46.  AFAICT, there is some sort of 
limit on the number of vertices in a path, as shortening them does help, 
but I couldn't find a reference to this bug online.  Unfortunately, 
given that a path could be a closed polygon, simply chunking the path 
data into multiple elements isn't good enough.  So a general solution 
will be tricky.  I don't think this is worth holding off on the beta 
release (0.91.x has this same problem), but it's something to be aware of.

Cheers,
Mike
